Let's Tell the Truth, Candidates!

A friend of ours pointed out some truth facts about last night's debate and here they are:

OBAMA: 'I believe this is a final verdict on the failed economic policies of the last eight years, strongly promoted by President Bush and supported by Senator McCain, that essentially said that we should strip away regulations, consumer protections, let the market run wild, and prosperity would rain down on all of us. It hasn't worked out that way. And so now we've got to take some decisive action.'

THE FACTS: McCain has indeed favored less regulation over the years but supported tighter rules and accountability on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years before the start of a financial crisis prompted in part by those giant mortgage underwriters. Obama was not a leader in that unsuccessful effort. Some of the current problems can be traced to legislation passed in 1999 that lifted many regulations over the financial industry. That deregulation was championed by then-Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, a McCain supporter, but also by President Clinton, who signed the legislation, and by former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, now a top Obama economic adviser.

"This is one of the claims Obama made during last nights debate. Notice who signed the legislation into law that allowed the whole Mortgage mess and economic breakdown to occur..... yep! Bill Clinton NOT GEORGE BUSH !!!! Notice that McCain tried to warn the Leaders of Congress about this mess before it started but the DEMOCRATICALLY controlled House & Senate wouldn't listen. It is amazing how much different things look when the truth is revealed. Think about it."

Oh, and I'm sure you know if you are a small business owner, you're SCREWED if Obama takes office. I guess we are not as "free" as we would like to think, because mandating what we should or shouldn't do because of HIS opinions is not America!!!

Please, please, please...check the records, the experience and the FACTS people!!! Our country and future depends on it.
